Vice Principals – Danny McBride is a Genius

vice_principals_s1_keyartWe love Danny McBride aka Kenny Powers. It was about time that he made his comeback. Eastbound and Down was one of the best comedies ever. Now we have Vice Principals. Pretty damn good as well. Dark in tone but light in premise, Vice Principals has Danny McBride’s unique brand of humor stamped all over it. Here he pairs magnificently with Walton Goggins, but despite the show’s title high school has very little to do with any of it. A workplace comedy with dark personal revelations along the way, this show features a character that could have easily been Eastbound and Down’s Kenny Powers – if the baseball star had never made it big. With its limited premise (and a limited episode/two-season commitment from McBride) the series draws laughs in the pilot thanks to quick banter and ridiculous situations. It’s a tone that carries through in subsequent installments, reminding us that sometimes it is fun to watch grown men act like children. At least for a little while.
